Should also teach children 80-90% of Native Hawaiians died from exposure to diseases brought by Europeans between late 1700s-early 1900s. Those same diseases are now preventable by vaccines but remain a threat if vaccines are not routine (see 2019 measles outbreak in Samoa and 2023 in American Samoa).

I was trying to say "there are no seals in Seal Beach" -- "ʻAʻohe sila o Seal Beach" and my kumu corrected me because it came out like "ʻAʻohe sila ʻo Seal Beach." I need to get used to putting a between the "a" of "sila" and the possessive "o," otherwise it becomes a name-indicator "ʻo".

My #1 problem trying to speak is that my. Tongue. Wants. To. Put. A. Full. Glottal. Stop. Between. Every. Word. Especially when I am trying to speak clearly!!!! That is bad in Hawaiian because the glottal stop is a component of a word (or not), and you canʻt just throw them in there or you might change the meaning.

“Mea” == “thing, one,” but today I wanted to share that I just learned speakers use the word “mea” as a conversational filler, the way in we use “um.” When I studied I was taught that Spanish speakers use “ese” == “that” the same way, & indeed I have heard it “in the wild” :blobcatfingerguns:

My kumu has a new podcast episode! She talks about the concept of “waele” (weeding, like a garden) and how it applies to living your best life. 8 minutes, no ads.

O by the way, my Kumu is having a kūkākūkā (conversational) class this summer online from Maui via Zoom! She always provides such a nurturing, learning environment. I recommend this to anyone who wants to practice speaking Hawaiian!

When I first started learning the numbers in , I had the worst problem remembering”8”. I finally resorted to drawing this sketchy of a magic eight ball. I already knew the word for “ball,” and I looked up the word for “magic.” Putting this up over my desk helped a lot!

To finish up my week of tooting about the app, I’ll add that they also allow you to flag errors. When I first started using it, the cartoon for “they” was labeled wrong. I can’t remember if it was “lāua” with a picture of three people, or “lākou” with the picture of two people, but I flagged it, and about a month later they fixed it! Unfortunately, there is still only one drill for the words “they” and “theirs.”
